Time flies when your ...


... busy renovating your store.
( I can't believe my last post was at Christmas time )

Around the holidays, I had a look at my store and decided
that the shabby chic furniture had to go.
It was a bit emotional to tell you the truth, as I had started the store
with that furniture 7 1/2 years ago.
But I have been learning how to let things go and this
was a perfect opportunity !
Out with the old, in with the new.
I had wanted to close for a week and do everything at once, as always !
Build a new desk, paint the walls, put up new shelves, move the fishtank,
paint the bathroom, fix the floor... the list goes on and on.
BUT:
1. things don't always work out as planned
2. the ideas in your head don't always come out the same
3. you can't always get what you want
4. sometimes one step at a time is best
5. i need to have patience.

SO FAR WE HAVE:

One new and fabulous ( recycled ) desk.
The desk has a seat for your little one, and as you can see in the photo,
it is getting happily used.

A revamped play area for the little ones.
Equipped with more seating and a fresh carpet.
( new toys are on their way )

And later this week we will have a permanent
shoe section with it's own seating. So you and the little ones can
take your time finding your new pair of shoes.

When we are finished most of the renovations we will have a little party
and invite you all over for cupcakes !
